Anyone have a link or a list of published drawings of Lehigh Valley structures, particularly in New York State?
The only ones I'm aware of are the Freeville freight house (MR, 1962), Geneva (MR, early 90s) and Sayre (RMC, I can't remember the exact year). Plus I have a '50s Model Trains or similar with some drawings of an LV tower. I think I've seen drawings for Owego published somewhere too, but I don't remember well enough to say for certain.
As I think about this, I remember Rochester Jct. appearing in MR, and possibly the downtown Rochester station too.
I checked Ed Schaller's page, but didn't see any index for that sort of thing, he has some magazine articles indexed, but not for any of the major magazines. I thought I'd ask here, since he's no longer available to update the site.
I'm curious if any of the other wooden upstate NY stations have appeared. I have good floorplan drawings for Groton and Dryden from LV company files, I'm just wondering if before I went to the trouble to actually go and measure some of the ones I know still exist, if I can just dig up an old magazine with the dimensions all there for me. Particularly smaller ones like the similar ones along the freight main between Geneva and Van Etten Jct or some of the brancline stations like Truxton and DeRuyter.
Dryden I might be able to puzzle out (pretty sure it's long gone) - I don't have the two softbound books that cover the branches, though - does that station appear in either of those books (Lehigh Valley Memories or Gangly Country Cousin)? A little basic math from comparing measurements taken from a picture to the known dimensions aught to work to figure out the height and the window sizes and locations. I probably should pick those up, so I can try to sort out which stations share similar plans, too.
